I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Detroit, MI) in Oct 2020
Interview
Behavioral interview questions such as “Tell me a time when…” I suggest preparing by researching the leadership principles and having a specific story for each one. It will usually consist of two interviews back to back and each interviewer will have around 3 specific leadership principles to focus on. They will ask you around 3-6 questions each. The interview can be very difficult if you do not prepare and extremely easy if you do. Make sure to answer in the STAR method.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Amazon?
Tell me a time when you sacrificed short term gain for long term gain.
Tell me a time when you struggle to gain a relationship with someone on your team.
Tell me a time when you mentored someone.
Tell me the most innovative thing you’ve done in your recent position.
Tell me a time when you created a metric.
Tell me a time when you achieved something you thought was impossible.
Star Method and Leadership Principles. Just study these from the materials they give you, and form a story for each principle, and when they ask questions, you can see which principle they are asking about.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a conflict or disagreement at work and how did you handle it?"
Multiple online tests after application, followed by a virtual interview with various staff. Staff did not want to be on camera and did not have many good things to say about working there.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
